Barnes and Leslie have your streaming recommendations for May 2024:

Facing relentless foes and sudden bankruptcy, an Atlanta real estate tycoon must claw his way back to the top when his empire begins to crumble. Starring Jeff Daniels, Diane Lane, and Lucy Liu - A Man In Full (based on the Tom Wolfe novel) streams on Netflix on May 2.

On Amazon Prime, I'm excited for Season 2 of "Outer Range," starring Josh Brolin as a rancher who discovers something unbelievable at the edge of Wyoming’s wilderness. This season, the series will go deeper into the mystery surrounding the mysterious void on the west pasture of the Abbott family ranch, as Royal (Brolin) and his wife Cecelia (Lili Taylor) struggle to keep their family together in the aftermath of their granddaughter’s sudden disappearance. Season Two of the series will premiere May 16. 

The much-anticipated third season of "Bridgerton" is coming this month! Penelope enters Season 3 finally ready to give up her longtime crush on Colin. However, that doesn’t mean she’s done with love. Instead, Penelope has decided it’s time to take a husband - and preferably one who will give her the freedom to continue her double life as Lady Whistledown, far away from the prying eyes of her mother and sisters. Season 3 will include a total of eight episodes that are split into two parts. The first four episodes premiere on May 16, and the next four debut June 13.

The acclaimed Max series "Hacks" - the Jean Smart-starring series returns for a nine-episode run on May 2. Along with Smart and Hannah Einbinder are a murder's row of guest stars, including Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, George Wallace and Tony Goldwyn. 

Jerry Seinfeld's brand of absurdist comedy is on full display in his new film, "Unfrosted." The comedian stars in (and makes his directorial debut on) the not-quite-based-on-reality take on the invention of the Pop Tart. The cast is stacked:  Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, Hugh Grant, Amy Schumer, Max Greenfield, Christian Slater, Bill Burr, Daniel Levy, James Marsden, Jack McBrayer, Thomas Lennon, Bobby Moynihan, Adrian Martinez, Sarah Cooper and Fred Armisen. "Unfrosted" hits Netflix May 3

Finally, the new Apple TV+ sci-fi series "Dark Matter" which stars Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly, and is based on the popular novel by Blake Crouch. Jason Dessen (played by Edgerton) is a physicist, professor and family man who is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Things go south when he tries to return to his reality amid the vast array of lives he could have lived. Along with Edgerton and Connelly, the series also stars Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi and Oakes Fegley. The series premieres May 8.
